Scout's Honor Rescue is an all-breed, no-kill, Not-For-Profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization committed to bringing courage, character and compassion to Houston's homeless pet population and making a positive difference in the lives of these stray and abandoned animals and the Houston community as a whole. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to saving the life of a homeless animal.

I haven't posted in a while, because I don't really have anything of substance to contribute. Life has been fairly routine these days. I get up, drive to Hanley, Inc., shock the monkeyshake the baby for a few hours, and then go home. On my off days I go to the gym. That's about it. Last Friday, however, my routine was effed up when my cell phone battery died in the middle of the night. I could've sworn it was charged, but I guess it wasn't, because I use it as an alarm clock and nothing alarmed me into consciousness that morning. Somehow I woke up on my own, but I only had a half hour to eat, make myself look semi-presentable (to a baby, as if she has the vocab skills to reprimand me for not shaving.), and get to Hanley, Inc. Unfortunately, I also had to find time to take Rex and Dex outside to pee and poop. But I'm a multi-tasking demi-god. I stood in the yard eating cold cereal while they did their thing. I also brushed my teeth while going to the bathroom, but we won't go into detail about that. I was cramming books, snacks, a bottle of water, and other things into my Guess messenger bag when I thought, This would be so much easier if I had a tote bag I could just chuck things into and go. Suddenly, I stopped everything. Tote bag? I'm such a--such a--a manny!

Saturday With Scouts went really well. I think four dogs found homes, but I could be wrong. Even if it was just two, that would be excellent, because people haven't been adopting or donating much lately. There was a lot of interest in Dexter, though. One of the people interested in him might take him into their home next week for a "test drive." I hope it works out, because he's such a good, sweet boy. We'll see.

I snapped this photo at the meet and greet. It's a big, vicious pit bull. Watch out! Nap attack!

Now I'm off to llbean.com to order a tote bag! I mean--erm...a kayak! A big, manly kayak. Yeah, that's the ticket.
